India sets 16pc export growth target for ’04-05


India is aiming for a 16 percent growth in exports to reach 73.4 billion dollars in fiscal 2004-2005, the commerce ministry said Friday.

"The official 16 percent target for growth of merchandise exports in 2004-2005 from a year earlier is well within reach," said Commerce Secretary Dipak Chatterjee.

Indian exports had grown in 2002-2003 by 17 percent, exceeding the 12 percent target, in large part due to a rise in orders from the United States.
